Holy freakinggggggggggggg Moogles! I made many many bad mistakes in my Pigments info entry. I just saw that a lot of the map pics aren’t in the correct spot, and many of my text info are wrong (like, saying botanist instead of miner, and saying miner instead of botanist). Woe is me! And so many people have seen the entry. Ahhhhhhhh I am so embarrassed.

When I uploaded and attached my image files, the order became messy so I had to drag the pics around trying to arrange them, but I got the order wrong in so many places. I am now at grandma’s house and have no PC, so I cannot correct my entry now. I will do it tomorrow when I go home. So sorry to every one.

NEWS FLASH!

Being stubborn and trying to edit the entry using my iPad spelled a disaster. Now most of the map screenshots are dead links. Oh what have I done!? Woe is meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Wahhhhh! //goes to bed pouting. Tomorrow I will correct all my boo boo. TAT but now I am out of wit.

Additional information: for the locations of the NPC shops that sell these dye pots, please scroll down to the bottom of this entry.

*UPDATED 13 Sep 2013*
I originally forgot Ash Grey Dye, and had probably mixed it up with Goobbue Grey, so I have made a new set of Grey Dyes screenshots and replace the old one. Also, I just noticed that some of the screenshots didn’t have the link to its large image, so now I corrected that as well.

————————————————————-

After making a post about crafted dyes, my friend asked for store-bought dyes that we buy from NPC at merchant stalls in the markets. So here goes, all the dyes in screenshots.

This set of equipment includes:
Head – Bronze Sallet
Body – Woolen Shirt
Hands – Goatskin Armguards
Legs – Hempen Kecks

By the way, you can click on the pictures to load the large image.

*For screenshots of the 6 new crafted dyes from patch 2.1, please see my new entry.*
*For store-bought dyes from merchant NPCs, please see next entry.

Some screenshots as color reference for FFXIV: ARR dye system. I did all 13 colors on both sets of my gear. These screenshots will show how each of the new (craft only) dyes look on different type of materials (cotton, velveteen, leather, metal, etc.)

The set on the left consists of:
Head – Mythril Magnifiers
Body – Velveteen Gown
Hands – Cotton Halfgloves
Legs –  Cotton Breeches

The set on the right consists of:
Head – Steel Goggles
Body – Velveteen Doublet Vest
Hands – Woolen Work Gloves
Legs – Boarskin Culottes

By the way, I’m sorry that the second set toward the end had its pics taken around sunset, so the colors might seem a bit weird due to the lighting. ><;;

Color Pigments And Dyes

*UPDATED* 13 Sep 2013
This entry was almost ALL wrong due to my stupidity. At one point while dragging the pics around arranging the order, I put the map screenshot 1 slot wrong, so everything down the line was also 1 spot wrong, making most of the info mismatched. Now I have corrected it all. My sincere apology to every of my readers who had gotten the wrong information and was probably confused and unable to find the items. Terribly sorry. ><;;

———————————————-

Okie dokie, instead of spamming my mouse trying to log in, waiting for a miracle to be placed on queue, I would rather do something informative and compile some info I’ve gotten from playing around with the new dyes. I really like that they added more of the new colors for armor/clothes dye system. These “new” dyes cannot be bought from vendor NPC or shop stalls like Dyemonger in Limsa or Independent Merchant in Ul’dah, but have to be crafted using level 30 recipe of any of the crafting class. The ingredient to make a pot of dye is one color pigment and 2 crystals. The element of the crystals required depends on your crafting class.

Dye_Crafting

I’ve been going around to use my Disciples of the Land: Botanist and Miner, to gather all of the available pigments. There are 7 colors of pigment, and they can be crafted into 13 colors of dye in total.

The pigments and gather spots are as follows:

Blue Pigment: Grouped with Water Crystal.
Method: Logging (Botanist, main hand)
Location: Eastern La Noscea – Bloodshore

Handy coordinates marker

Useful map function of FFXIV: <pos>

Yesterday while gathering on my Botanist in the South Shroud East Shroud, I overheard this conversation where a player told people to please use <pos> when they ask for Raise. It will generate a map marker where people can click on the text in the chatlog to open a map, showing this cute little green flag to let them easily spot that coordinates without having to manually look for it by hovering the mouse over every inch of their map!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (That’s what I’ve been doing all week…..yeah and it is a big hassle which I am very unpleased of.)

POS_map

 

As an ambulance, I really appreciate this tips. It would save me a ton of headache whenever I feel like going for the rescue for these random dead bodies. I thanked the person (and some other players who helped explain why I couldn’t see the green flag and how to look for it – I was too far away so it wasn’t in the frame, and by zooming out I will spot it easily without having to scroll my map) and they said they want me to spread the words, as not many people know this (I never knew before, either!!!)

So yeah, I want all the dead people asking for raise to use this function to make help come easier and save us some headache in finding them, so here I am, spreading it. Please make use of this nice function.

Oh, by the way, I do not know how players on PS3 would execute this map marker when they see a coords, because I told my friend and he said no mouse, can’t click. (OUCH!) So, if anyone knows how to, please also spread that tips. Thanks!

And remember, if you’re asking for a help, it would be nicer if you shout your location clearly and make it easier for the helper to find you. It is a hassle, if not frustration, to have to manually find the coordinates when people don’t use <pos> format to specify location.

*update*

Austia Silverwing of Midgardsormr says:

On ps3 you can hold L1 and click R3 for mouse. then L2 is left click, R2 is right click. also L1+select gets rid of hud, L1+start is screenshot.

Thank you very much for sharing the info!!

 

Not hearing Voice Acting

Leave a comment

UPDATE! After posting this (which was automatically shared by WordPress system to my FaceBook and Tumblr) I got a comment from one of my friends: “you need to disable secondary device and set device output to standard speaker.” So, hopefully, this fixes the problem for some, if not all, of those who are having this issue.

เพิ่มเติม! พอโพสต์บล็อกไปแล้วเวิร์ดเพรสมันแชร์ไปที่เฟซบุ๊คกับทัมเบลอโดยอัตโนมัติ แล้วมีเพื่อนมาคอมเมนท์ว่า “you need to disable secondary device and set device output to standard speaker” สรุปว่าต้องไปเซ็ตระบบเสียงของคอมตามนั้น! หวังว่าจะแก้ปัญหาให้หลาย ๆ คนได้นะคะ

————————

Today my site stats reports that someone came here with the search keyword “ff14 npc ไม่มีเสียง” which can be translated into English “ff14 NPC has no voice.” Then I remember seeing someone asking in a Thai FFXIV Community on FaceBook that his game doesn’t play the Voice Acting sound at all. He hears everything else, except the voice acting part. He never heard the narrator describing the city-state in which he created his character, he never heard the Scions NPC talking, he never heard the Hydaelyn speaking. He hears BGM, effect, and his own character’s voices all right, but not the voice acting from NPC in the cutscene where it occurs.

I found this Voice Acting in FFXIV PC/PS3? thread on Reddit and some people stated that they are not hearing the voice acting either. One person said they are using Windows 8, and one other person said they’re using Windows 7. I am not sure if it is because they haven’t run into the quests that are voice acted, or if they have the same problem with the Thai person.

I also found this thread on the official forum, http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/73705-Not-hearing-voice-overs-in-cutscense Some people are having the same issue too. Maybe soon someone will be able to solve the mystery.

Anyone else having the same issue? What to do to fix the problem? I feel sorry for the guy that he cannot hear the voice acting.

วันนี้ site stats รายงานว่ามีคนหลงเข้ามาที่บล็อกนี้ด้วยคีย์เวิร์ด “ff14 npc ไม่มีเสียง” เลยนึกได้ว่าวันก่อนเห็นในเฟซบุ๊ค มีคนถามเรื่องไม่ได้ยินเสียงพากย์ในคัทซีนเลย เสียงบรรยายเกี่ยวกับเมือง ตอนเพิ่งสร้างตัวละครก็ไม่ได้ยิน แล้วยังเสียงของ NPC สำคัญ (เช่นพวก Scions  กับพวกหัวหน้าคัมพานี) เสียงของ Hydaelyn คริสตัลก็ไม่ได้ยิน! แต่เสียงอื่น ๆ ได้ยินหมด ไม่มีปัญหา เช่นเสียงเพลงในพื้นหลัง เสียงตัวละครของตัวเอง เสียงเอฟเฟคในเกม

แล้วเราก็เจอกระทู้นี้ในเรดดิท Voice Acting in FFXIV PC/PS3? บางคนบอกว่าไม่ได้ยินเสียงพากย์! เห็นว่าใช้ Windows 8 ส่วนอีกคนใช้ Windoes 7 แต่เราไม่แน่ใจนะว่าเขาไม่ได้ยินเพราะยังทำเควสต์ไม่ถึง หรือเพราะเป็นปัญหาเดียวกันคนไทยที่ถามคนนั้น

แล้วเราก็เจอกระทู้ถามในออฟฟิเชียลฟอรั่มของไฟนอล 14 http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/73705-Not-hearing-voice-overs-in-cutscense มีคนเป็นแบบนี้เหมือนกัน ยังไงคงต้องคอยดูต่อไป อาจจะมีคนไขปริศนานี้ได้ก้ได้

มีใครเจอปัญหาแบบเดียวกันบ้างมั้ยคะ? ต้องทำยังไงถึงจะแก้ให้มันมีเสียงตามปรกติ? เห็นแล้วสงสารอ่ะ อดฟังเสียงพากย์
